Oh, so in fact, the only package which should do that in its d/rules
should be setuptools-scm itself, then ?

There are several things I don't understand there:

(1) during the autopkgtest run, we're not in the package source tree,
are we? So there should be no access do d/changelog?

(2) including pkg-info.mk is for makefiles, so not available there, and
dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion will give me the full Debian version, not
just upstream's.

Thanks,
